Hi,
Someone has any Conga vacuum controlled with HA? I searched the web trying to find if they have MQTT but without luck. I am doubting between Conga 3090 (299 in Amazon right now) and the Xiaomi S50 and compatibility with HA is a must.
Thanks in advance!
Hi there!
I have the same robot Cecotec 3090. It would be nice to hear something about how controlling it with HA
It seems that Cecotec is adding google home compatibility for the 3090, maybe it will be easy to include in HA then. They say in one or two months it will be compatible.
I don’t think so… maybe with the new code, we will have any possibilities to adapt the “older” one
Hi, I have heard that now it’s compatible with Google Home. So I guess that now it’s possible to connect our conga 3090 to home assistant. Any idea or any tutorial in internet?.
I found nothing…
The 3090’s Google integration is a bit strange.
You have to add “Robot Conga” found under the explore section of Google Assistant (not under add devices of Google home).
Instead of appearing as a device it operates as a chatbot, so you have to say exactly: “Hey Google, Ask robot conga to start/stop cleaning” or “Ask robot conga to charge”.
You can then set up a custom routine in Google home such as:
When I say - Start cleaning, Clean the floor, floor needs cleaning
Assistant will - Ask robot conga to start cleaning, Say: Ok cleaning started
An interesting option for HA could be emulating the supplied remote which seems to use some basic 2.4gHz protocol, similar to something like ZigBee or milighs
If this is so in Alexa too you can use for Alexa the Alexa_Mediaplayer to control the Conga. As a first step. 
I´m going to try with Assistant Relay
Hi all,
Is there any news about this?. I tried to find out a solution but nothing comes to my mind…
Maybe this? --> https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/vacuum/
Some info maybe usefull for someone with more skills than me

Seems that update server is offline… no more upgrades for 3090

Hi mates,
Any progress with the Cecotec integration?
I tried to manage it with IR commands but without luck, so next time I will buy one that works with HA directly.
No success with an rm4 mini.
I’m testing with adb but I don’t get anything either.
The update server is down so I can’t get the ramdisk.sys file to extract the root password for ssh.
Has anyone tried to see if it works?
Hello all there!,
I’m the folk who has written those guide at https://christiangil.dev. Cecotec has taken down their update server, adding some kind of timeout/delay on their app, so my guide wont get you anything interesting.
They are also some other interesting security flaws on Cecotect robots, just check if your models has a microUSB (or the pins for it) below the battery.
I prefer to don’t leave the hash or password publicly, as I was able to “kidnap” a 3090 out of my control, so if someone want to help in the development of an integration, I’ll report anything you need using mine 3090
Hi! I don’t know how I can help you, but if I can, you can count on me.
Some info from my Conga 3090:

Also they have local logs of the running apps (that they upload to a suspicious FTP server), RobotApp is the “core” and the one receiving commands from Cloud, listening on port 8111
RobotApp: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-musl-armhf.so.1, no section header
I will post soon more info like this on my blog, but I don’t have much experience on reversing ARMHF binaries, so going to try to add a MITM Proxy and capture what it receives from Cloud.
I’m open to better ideas on this.
Great news, At least if we are able to call the RobotApp from HA or NodeRed that will be a great advance.
Christian, have you read the second link i posted? Do you think emulating the app is the best way to make this work?
Sergio, owner of www.rastersoft.com has given me this link and I have been able to access it through adb shell and change the root ssh password. Thank you Christian for the security notice.
I have also been testing the “badconga” integration that I have found and at least it works to send commands to the vacuum cleaner. Unfortunately the part of the mapping that appears as a camera in homeassistant does not work for me.
Muchas gracias Sergio, Christian y freeconga
Wow, awesome, but it says that is not compatible with the 3090 so I think that I can’t give it a try.
